• Best way to migrate virtual machines to new ESXi hosts with a different configuration of networking.

  We currently have a cluster of 6 Dell machines that move VM 120 or so on ESXi 5.5. Networking consists of a dVswitch with 6 uplinks that map to 6 x 1gig physical NETWORK adapters on each host ESXi... These are grouped into 3 trunks / gal, so we have 2 GB by SHIFTING of the bandwidth and failover. The LAGS are configured as follows:

  LAG1

  Traffic to our (NFS) shared data store and management of ESXi. (vmk0)

  LAG2

  Access to the network of the VM - groups of different ports on different VLANS

  LAG3

  vMotion (vmk1)

  We just bought 6 new Dell machines that have connections fiber 2 x 10gig each. The idea is to bring together in a 20Ggig LAG by machine that will handle all of the traffic, so traffic NFS data store, network traffic from the VM, vMotion and traffic management ESXi.

  
  

  What is the best way to migrate the virtual machine in the cluster existing to the new machines? Many of the virtual machine are essential, so we cannot stop time.

  
  

  Can I create the new DELAY on existing dVswitch and put it as an auxiliary card? I'll be able to do it for all 3 of the above both above LAGS?

  
  

  Thanks for the info Alistar, it's almost here. The bit that was me stumping was that after establishing a new dVswitch I received messages that the new dvSwitch was not reachable on the old host, when I tried to migrate the virtual computer.

  The solution (with the permission of VMware Support) was that I need to add the two dVswitches to one of the old hosts, then assign a physical alternative on this host uplink to a temporary 3 uplink on the new dVswitch. I then tag all the relevant VLAN that uplink.

  This way I can first migrate the virtual machine to the new dVswitch networking so I can move the computer to the new cluster.

  Obviously I can only migrate from old to new cluster with a single host. each virtual machine must be a double for the host with 2 switches, and then to the new cluster. I also had to have the two dVswitches to the same version.

  Fortunately, I had a physical rising spare on the hosts of the old, otherwise I would have had to break one of the trunks and re-use of one of these uplinks.

  Oh and be aware, impossible to use the same names for groups of ports 2 DV switches, they must be unique!

  This is a very common and classic situation:

  http://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/KB/backup-restore-move-catalog-Photoshop.html

  Just make sure that your backup on the external drive is ok: you should find a "backup.tly" file in the folder.

  Use the organizer of PSE11 to restore the backup of the PSE7: the first step restores all your multimedia files, the second automatically performs a conversion of catalogue in format PSE11.

  Read the note in the link above on the restoration of XP to the ulterior Win operating system. You can also restore to a location 'custom '. For example in a "C:\My new library" folder. Make sure the main folder is accessible to all users, and if you wish, you can move the catalog (database), itself from this location to the default location: Catalog Manager, ability to move catalogs in location that is accessible to all users.

• Best ways of Migration in the 9.3

  Hi I'm on Hyperion 9.3,
  
  Please can anyone suggest the best way to migrate my application of PLANNING from one environment to another. (If possible so other docs)
  
  Thanks in advance

  Well the native SID of a user a user changes between environments unless you have used the CSSImportExport utility during the creation of the user to force the same native SID.

  What you need to do is create an empty application on your target environment or go to the one that was created with the same owner of the application.
  Search in the table HSP_USERS and store SID for the UserID 50001, 50001 if no changes have been made to the application since the application owner.
  Now go to the HSP_USERS in the application, you have just migrated and replace the SID that you have stored, and then restart planning.

  You should always check the logging as I suggested, because it may be a different problem.

• Best way to migrate (RDBMS and Essbase) planning data between systems

  Hello. I need to migrate data from planning (fact data relationship of Planning (time and text comments) and Essbase). Migration of Essbase is relatively simple (migration of Essbase dimension data and then export and reload fact Essbase data) but I'm not sure on the best way to migrate relational data 100% done. Should I do a dump of the schema and then migrating the other system of planning? Thank you.
  
  It comes to 11.1.1.3.

  Like you're on 11.1.1.3 I suggest to use LCM to migrate the planning elements.

• Best way to migrate a virtual machine from local drive to Cluster?

  Hello

  For historical reasons, we set up a virtual machine in the local disk of the ESX host.  This host is not connected to the San, where there is one group of another 3 ESX host.

  We would like to remove this standalone ESX host and migrate the virtual computer to the Cluster.  Should what tools I use?  Can use us the converter to do?  If so, when we connect to the Infrastructure of VI, does connect to the version independent host ESX OR import this virtual machine to an ESX Hos in the cluster?

  Thank you

  Hello

  your ESX host is connected to your vCenter?

  If Yes just turn off the virtual machine right click in vSphere client and choose migrate. Select destination storage and ESX server and it will be migrated.

  If it's not I turn off the virtual machine and just copy the whole directory of the VM on the new ESX Server with scp on ssh.

• The best way to migrate data... Opinion please...

  Guys,

  I'm working on a solution for a customer who needs to move in a new SAN SAN data.

  Existing SAN is attached to the ESX server farm and is very close to the location of a new SAN. In your opinion, what is the best way to move data without interruption to VM ESX farm?

  I know we can do SAN replication, but right now, I don't know if the SAN is still the same provider.

  I know we can do Storage VMotion. In this case, he should present the new SAN somehow for the existing ESX servers.

  I know that we can probably use the converter to migrate virtual machines. This can take some time because we would go over WAN.

  What are your thoughts?

  Thanks in advance for your comments!

  With 4 TB of data, I wouldn't pass on the replication SAN or WAN solution of optimization of the property, and it can fly quickly with 4 TB of data that you use storage vmotion which basically depends on how your WAN links are, if if its quick to go for it.  There is not another free solution then this but if you can manage somehow to make backup of system state of all virtual machines, and then you can ship these backup data to remote locations and import, save back to clusters.  You have to do the actual calculation how fast you can Transfer data from the siteA-> siteB Mbps?  This will give you a clearer picture of how long it will take and picture plan here.  I could do that during maintenance or weekend windows that are the least impact to users and systems.

  If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

• Migrating from a virtual computer between two numbers of data center

  Hello!

  I just finished a muddy migration of a virtual machine from one data center to another.

  VMotion was not possible, so do not manually move the files was the only option.

  After downloading and uploading files to separate data warehouses, I have now a running virtual machine with the file to a folder named "TSV-forum", hard and the .vmx file and the working of a folder named "TSV-forum_2" directory

  The reason is that I downloaded the files to a new folder on the new data store named "TSV-forum", and when I created the new virtual machine and set the option to file on hard drive to use the vmx downloaded from the new 'TSV-forum' folder file, it automatically creates the "TSV-forum_2" folder and put the rest of the files for the new virtual machine in this folder.

  How to solve this problem?

  I should, perhaps, created the virtual machine in a different way, in the first place.

  How?

  Hello

  Connection via vSphere Client on the Vcenter server and

  Right-click on this particular VM-> go to change settings of-> click on hard disk and check the DiskFile tab (where is the VMDK file located on what data store)

  After that who go to the inventory-> warehouses of data, find the data for this particular VM store, right click and click Browse data store.

  you will find a folder with your VM file, click the folder where your file VMDK is located in the upper tab

  Find the underside of wink

  After clicking Move he will ask confirmation Move

  

  After you click YES the move items tab will appear

  Click on the data store, then select the Destination folder where you want or create a new folder for this particular VM with naming and click on move.

• best way to migrate project teststand

  Hi all. I am new to teststand

  I have to work again on a former ramp driven by a core of teststand. to do this, I first need to copy all the data with another computer, just to see the source codes and .seq file, since I can't not work directly from the ramp

  After copying the workspace, a lot of things don't work / are not more recognized in the source code. the main one is the globals station. is it stored somewhere else in the project directory? You can specify all the things outside the project that I have to copy with my project and with what?

  Thanks for your help

  It is not trivial to simply copy like this.  There is so much that goes into automation TestStand.  Consider the following, which form a TestStand system:

  • Code model/s process and support
  • File of the client's sequence and dependencies (screws, DLLs, assemblies, etc...)
  • Cfg files (settings of the station, stationglobals, search directories, report options, etc...)
  • User interface
  • Engines
  • Drivers
  • And much more

  Station globals are stored in the config directory.  Usually stored here: C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\TestStand 2010 SP1\Cfg on Windows 7.

  In addition to the configuration settings, the most important copy thing on would be the .seq file and all of its dependencies.  You will have to go through it, step by step to understand what all of those who are.  And then to top that off, you need to make sure that when you should I copy on they are accessible by the search directories (of if using absolute paths that they are exactly the same task).

  The best way to move from a system of TestStand is to deploy.  http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/EE3382373D209449862570A5006572F0

• Best way to migrate the Apex in Production applications - how users are affected?

  
  Hello

  We have been migrating our apex in production applications after the opening hours to try to minimize the impact on users. Can the affected users if they use the application while migration is taken?

  It's how we migrate:

  -We export enforcement apex of the development environment. This creates a SQL file.

  -Then the SQL file is imported into the Production by using the option 'reuse application ID export file XX'

  Please let me know if there is a better way to move the application in production, and if the user isn't be affected if we during opening hours.

  Thank you

  Yes for sure users will be get affected when you replace the current with a new app, if they use it at the same time.

  Another best way to move the application to the production (keeping the same URL of deployment) is to use the Application Alias for your URL of the App Production.

  In this way, you can import the application while users are using the old application. And then after opening hours all you have to do is delete the alias from the application of the old app and assign this alias to your new application.

  Refer to the following response: Re: versioning in Apex (the thread is on version control, but, in this reply, I have explained the deployment of Application Alias method).

  I hope this helps!

• Best way to import a new virtual machine?

  Hi all, I used the standalone converter to convert a SCO Unix .tib in a virtual machine image and upload it automatically to the server ESXi 5. An image of 8 GB, took 6 hours.

  Strange, I thought, so I run the converter again on the same file, but this time just saved locally on the same computer, Windows converter was turned on, it took 15 minutes. If for some reason it takes ages and ages of transfer on the server ESXi 5.

  Is there a faster way to transfer it on? I'm going to live soon (test right now) and have the server offline for so long seems unreasonable. Is there a way to manually copy the converted during the first virtual computer, and then add it to the inventory? I'm a little new to this!

  Have you used VMware Converter 5 with the installed server option?

  In this case, take a look at for example Re: poor transfer rate using Converter standalone 5.0 compared to the 4.3 to find out how to speed up the converter by disabling SSL encryption to see if it changes anything.

• What is the best way to migrate from forms to ADF?

  We are in a big mess. Our company has been developing Oracle Forms for more than 15 years. We have applications developed in Forms 6i and 10 g. We have about 5 products and these 5 products have different versions of 25 to 30. that is, we maintain about 30 different versions of our applications. Each version of the application has about 100 forms and 100 States.
  
  Now, given that the forms came at the end of life of 11 g we want to pass to the ADF. We tried forms of ADF migration tools but failed. So now, we decided to manually to rewrite applications in the ADF.
  
  Our forms / PL/SQL developers, designers and analysts (about 40 in total) are all people of Oracle Forms. They have no experience in Java.
  
  What I want to know is:
  (1) what is the BEST way to do this?
  (2) need to learn Java, JSF, and ADF? (i.e. every 3)?
  (3) it is mandatory to learn JSF?
  (4) assuming that may benefit from a full training, how much time will it take for people of forms learn the ADF?
  (5) what kind of training will be necessary? (Java, JSF, ADF and JDeveloper etc..)
  (6) how LONG will take? that is to train all 40, then to rewrite an application forms 100 + 100 + reports? (Ballpark is OK).
  (7) any other technology we should learn?
  
  Published by: user12240205 on July 18, 2012 05:48

  Obvoiusly liked you training the better, but I think the minimum would

  (1) Java skills - I think to start, 1 or two days read some thing like head first Java http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Java-Kathy-Sierra/dp/0596009208
  (2) I would then get the http://www.amazon.com/Quick-Start-Oracle-Fusion-Development/dp/0071744282/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1343201618&sr=1-1&keywords=jdeveloper+quick of "The Quick Start Guide to Fusion Development" (declaration: I am the author so have an interest, but I still think it's a good point of departure - this should be about 2-3 days to read and also to try things.)
  (3) in parallel I would observe these http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/adfinsider-093342.html#a1 ADF Insider Basics - a few hours
  (4) I'd so try this tutorial http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/jdev/obe11jdev/ps1/ria_application/developriaapplication_long.htm - 3 hours.
  (5) if necessary, if you come from a background of forms I would also read http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/SummitADF/SummitADF_Redevelopment.pdf and watch http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/Forms_Redevelopment_ADF/Forms_Redevelopment_ADF.html - which is about 2 hours of work.

  I think it would be the absolute MINIMUM at least be able to build basic applications and begin to feel your way all also described in the http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/ADFTour/ADFTour.html 'ADF COLLATERAL TOUR' could be shot as you start to build a proof of concept. However, I would say don't you try to build a real application with a single exposure of weeks (in the same way, I don't expect you to design a database of product with the formation of a week only). I would probably expect your developers to have at least the above training, then spend a month or so evidence of (minimum) building of the concepts (or test themselves with the ADF Insider Essentials tasks). In addition, I would probably expect to have at least a senior developer/architect, with much more experience that may be decisions on things like reuse, partitioning, architecture, etc..

  Of course, it's all subjective, but I hope it helps.

  Of course, we also have lectures for university training Oracle which you could attend (or they can be bought to watch online).

• Best way to back up the virtual machine

  What better way to back up a virtual machine with snapshots?

  I have copied the VM directory to a backup folder, but then had problems to restore.  Just right?

  Not sure if it was because of the way the backup that I did.

  Sorry my English!

  It is recommended to create the snapshot with the VM or disable?

  Snapshots can be created with the virtual machine or not. With the virtual machine running, it may take more time to create the snapshot, and you won't 'lose' disk space, due to the State of memory that will be instantaneous.

  When possible, I recommend you take the snapshot with the virtual machine power off.

• Best way to migrate data from a store of data to a ROW

  Hi all

  I have a maybe simple question.

  I have some SQL clusters to customers that are not configured by the best practices of VMware.

  They are running ESX 4.0 with vCenter 5.0 u2 u2

  Some of them are running two nodes on the same ESX, some of them have mixtures of RDM and data warehouses and LUNS are connected by mixtures of policies of multiple paths.

  I can make changes to the MPP and the separation of the knots without problem, but I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for the data transfer of any store of data that exists in a ROW?

  Obviously if it is possible I would disconnect the data store, add as a RDM again but is it ok to do?

  Are there catches hidden here?

  If this possible isn´t would I need to create a new drive as a vMotion RDM and the storage of the data between the 2?

  I Don t need to migrate data for the operating system, the data on disks, so I can use storage vMotion for this or it would be better to run VMware converter?

  Someone at - it advice or recommendations?

  Thanks in advance

  You can't add the data store to a server asa RDM because the data store is in VMFS format.

  you could use vmware converter or restore backups to place the data on the rdm.
